1. The document discusses technology foresight and scenario planning. It provides examples of organizations that conduct foresight and planning activities, and how scenarios can be used to explore possible futures.
2. Scenarios are stories about how the future might unfold based on certain assumptions. They consider different possible futures, like expected, preferred, and plausible outcomes. Scenarios help organizations prepare for various events and challenges.
3. Foresight and scenario planning were used successfully by Shell in the 1970s to anticipate and respond to the 1973 oil crisis, improving their competitive position. The techniques can provide insights into issues like climate change, migration, and technology impacts.

A tale of scale & speed: How the US Navy is enabling software delivery from l...sonjaschweigert1
Rapid and secure feature delivery is a goal across every application team and every branch of the DoD. The Navy’s DevSecOps platform, Party Barge, has achieved:
- Reduction in onboarding time from 5 weeks to 1 day
- Improved developer experience and productivity through actionable findings and reduction of false positives
- Maintenance of superior security standards and inherent policy enforcement with Authorization to Operate (ATO)
Development teams can ship efficiently and ensure applications are cyber ready for Navy Authorizing Officials (AOs). In this webinar, Sigma Defense and Anchore will give attendees a look behind the scenes and demo secure pipeline automation and security artifacts that speed up application ATO and time to production.
We will cover:
- How to remove silos in DevSecOps
- How to build efficient development pipeline roles and component templates
- How to deliver security artifacts that matter for ATO’s (SBOMs, vulnerability reports, and policy evidence)
- How to streamline operations with automated policy checks on container images

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.

What strategy, with several concrete steps, could be used to imple-ment each of those actions?The original report informed the debate in Congress and within two presidential administrations, and, together with other reviews of America’s competitive position and innovation environment, led to the passage with strong bipartisan support of the America COMPETES Act of 2007 that has formed the basis for debating and structuring federal policy and budgets, and prompted a great deal of activity at local, state, and regional levels as well.
